Arthur's POV

I drove off to the penthouse, as Kelvin had chosen to stay back and wrap things up before coming there.

All through the ride I couldn't help but worry about Iris, though the boss never called urgently without a valid reason, I had no cause for alarm. I swerved into the parking lot of the penthouse and ensured no one had followed me. I switched off the car engine, alighted from the car and walked into the penthouse.

It was in such a place that no one would notice and if anyone noticed it, there was nothing they could do to it since it was a private property.

It belonged to try boss and no one in the entire city dared go against him or even the neighboring cities. I sighed as I entered the penthouse, it felt good to be back there, as it had been quite sometime that I had stepped in there last.

I was disappointed and sad when a call interrupted our lovely moment, I felt angry that he had to pick up the call, maybe it's just me, but the movies I've watched made me understand that whenever something like that happens between two people with some chemistry between them, the man wouldn't pick up any call but rather kiss the woman fiercely or do whatever they did.But Arthur picking up the call meant it was important than what we shared, the thought that it was more important than me made me even angrier, through I was shocked at my spin of emotions, yet it did hurt a little bit. But Arthur would never hurt me intentionally, and the look of pain and hesitation in his eyes when he had to leave was evident. If it wasn't urgent, then he wouldn't have left.Placing me in Anna's care also showed that though something urgent came up, yet he was considerate of my safety and ensured
